Sigourney Weaver, who plays the iconic role of Ripley in the Alien movie franchise, surprised students at a New Jersey high school on Friday night as they restaged a play based on the sci-fi film, images of which went viral last month.
After students at North Bergen High put on a highly-talked production, Alien the Play, photos of their sets and costumes made from recycled material went viral after getting posted online.
The shows art director and high school art techer Steven Defendini previously told BuzzFeed News that the cast and crew didn't have really any budget, so students were forced to be creative with their resources.
Astronaut costumes were created from moving blankets, while the helmets were made by combining floor mat foam and bottle caps. One of the sets, which is supposed to be a computer room, was even made from egg crate inserts.
The result was truly spectacular.
